Space Siege demo pops up

The sampler, which comes in at just under 1GB, offers you the role of futuristic hero Seth Walker, an engineer tasked with saving humanity.

Space Siege is a bit like Mass Effect: there's a big story to unravel with lots of characters to meet and multiple paths to go down, plus plenty of character customisation through abilities, skills, and even a personal robot chum.

The trump card may be co-operative online play for up to four players with adjustable scenario options.

We shall find out when Space Siege is released on 22nd August and we'll have a review nearer the time.
